The cancer survivor is radiating positive spiritual vibes, as she starts her life’s new journey

When Manisha Koirala announced about a year ago that she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, shockwaves shimmered through the film industry. But only a few of her close friends stood by her, and she soon realised the importance of true friendship and family support.

The actor shifted to New York for treatment, turned deeply spiritual before her surgery and stayed so through the course of her chemotherapy sessions. All the while, the cancer survivor shared her thoughts and spiritual learning as also pictures and videos through her social networking sites.

Manisha is back in India now, and just happy to be staying at her Mumbai home. The actor, who wowed audiences with wonderful performances in films like Dil Se, Bombay, Agnisakshi and Lajja, to name a few, is still on a spiritual trip and visited saint Sai Baba’s Shirdi temple and also a church recently.

Manisha shared more pictures of her bald avatar and looked very much like a rather pretty monk in a red saree, although it was not her intention to look good, wethinks. The divinity is rubbing off on her and adding to her mystique, apart from showing what wonders a positive attitude can do.

Guzaarish actor Hrithik Roshan, whose Agneepath is coming out next week, believes that seeking divine intervention before a big release is important, but insists that this alone is not enough to make a film successful. “Before the release of my father’s films, I go to Shirdi. I have been to Vaishno Devi once or twice. But I have realised that buttering up god on just one day is not enough. It is important to make an honest effort every single day of your life and that itself is enough to please the gods,” the 38-year-old actor said. Agneepath, remake of the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer of the same name, is slated to release on January 26 and stars Sanjay Dutt as the main villain and Priyanka Chopra as the leading lady. Rishi Kapoor also features in an important role in the movie, produced by Karan Johar and directed by debutant Karan Malhotra.
